We fund research in new areas to accelerate finding a cure for Alzheimer's.

Since 1983, The John Douglas French Alzheimer's Foundation has funded some of the most innovative Alzheimer's research. Our research focuses on novel areas—generally not being explored by other organizations—in order to gain new insights and a better understanding of Alzheimer's disease at its most fundamental level. Research of this type is an essential step in identifying high-value pathways to a cure.

New research project to examine the role of microglia—immune cells in the brain—in determining risk for Alzheimer’s disease using cellular reprogramming.

The John Douglas French Alzheimer's Foundation has funded an important new research project under the direction of Justin Ichida, PhD, of the University of Southern California, Department of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine.
